Polygamy and Following Jesus

Journal of Discourses 5:204; Some quietly listen to those who speak against the Lord’s servants, against his anointed, against the plurality of wives, and against almost every principle that God has revealed. Such persons have half-a-dozen devils with them all the time. You might as well deny “Mormonism,” and turn away from it, as to oppose the plurality of wives.” – Heber C. Kimball, October 12, 1856, Salt Lake City

Moses 5:11; And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.

It’s a good thing there are pastors out there that know the difference between the truth and a lie.  Before we open our mouths as Christians we need to do our homework.  It goes back to my rule with my kids.  You have one mouth and two ears so use them accordingly.

Jesus and Joseph Smith Related?

 “Jesus Was Married”, pg. 94, by Ogden Kraut;Since Joseph Smith did hold the keys of the kingdom in the last days, (D&C 65:2, 115:19) and was the “Rod” from the loins of the Stem of Jesse, he would have the blood of Abraham, Jesse, and the Savior, according to the testimony of scripture and revelation.  It would be evident that Joseph Smith should also know these facts.  The Prophet did understand them—and more—but he was reluctant to tell them because of the traditions and ideologies of modern Christianity.”

Arrogance of Joseph Smith

History of the Church 6:408-409; Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on the top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.

Angels Handshakes and Red Haired Angels

D&C 129:1-3 There are two kinds of beings in heaven, namely: Angels, who are resurrected personages, having bodies of flesh and bones—For instance, Jesus said: Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.  3 Secondly: the spirits of just men made perfect, they who are not resurrected, but inherit the same glory.

Spirit of man sexually begotten by Heavenly Father

Latter-day Prophets Speak: Selections from the Sermons and Writings of Church Presidents, Book 5;There is not a person here today but what is a son or a daughter of that Being. In the spirit world their spirits were first begotten and brought forth, and they lived there with their parents for ages before they came here. This, perhaps, is hard for many to believe, but it is the greatest nonsense in the world not to believe it. If you do not believe it, cease to call Him Father; and when you pray, pray to some other character. -Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 4:216, February 8, 1857

Multiple gods and People from Other Planets

Journal of Discourses 7:286;Here let me state to all philosophers of every class upon the earth, When you tell me that father Adam was made as we make adobies [sic] from the earth, you tell me what I deem an idle tale. When you tell me that the beasts of the field were produced in that manner, you are speaking idle words devoid of meaning. There is no such thing in all the eternities where the Gods dwell. Mankind are here because they are the offspring of parents who were first brought here from another planet, and power was given them to propagate their species, and they were commanded to multiply and replenish the earth.” – Brigham Young, October 9, 1859, Salt Lake City

Mormon Ads and the Presidential Campaign

Journal of Discourses 2:182; “Brethren and sisters, our friends wish to know our feelings towards the Government. I answer, they are first-rate, and we will prove it too, as you will see if you only live long enough, for that we shall live to prove it is certain; and when the Constitution of the United States hangs, as it were, upon a single thread, they will have to call for the “Mormon” Elders to save it from utter destruction; and they will step forth and do it.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, February 18, 1855

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-huntsman-calls-pastor-jeffries-a-moron-for-his-anti-mormon-cult-comment

While everyone’s busy pitching a fit over Pastor Jeffress’ comment this past weekend, the verdict is still out regarding John Huntsman’s comment about Jeffress in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN this morning.  True to form the Mormon side of things took a turn for the worse with Huntsman calling the pastor a “moron” and giving his opinion that Mormonism has nothing to do with the Presidential campaign.

 Is Mormonism a Cult?

That is the question in today’s political news headlines and the word cult alone draws immediate reactions from both sides of the debate.

While Romney is trying to keep the focus on what he’s attempting to accomplish in becoming President of the United States, regular citizens and other politicians are still debating the issue.  On Saturday, October 8, 2011, the Value Voters Summit hosted the gathering of conservative presidential hopefuls.  A pastor from Texas introduced Perry as a God-fearing Christian and remarked to a reporter that Mitt is part of a cult.  As you can imagine his comments raised a few eyebrows.
